Marius Seidlitz, born in 1985, lives and works in Bayreuth, Germany. He has a Fine Arts degree from the Bauhaus University. The artist is also an engraving master and experienced creative designer, skills he uses to inform his visual art practice. With the use of oil paint, his colorful work addresses the complexity of the human psyche. He examines notions of beauty and perfection, evoking such questions as, “What is beauty?” and, “Does perfection exist?”
Seidlitz’s expressive imagery is inspired by the diversity of the female body, imperfections and various distinctions are deliberately accentuated as homage to femininity in all its forms. Colorful curves, multi-layered nudity with all the contradictions between attraction and repulsion are the foundational narrative to every subject. Always multidimensional and dynamic, Seidlitz ensures that his portrayal of the female form, while surreal, is disparately accurate. Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, entangled bodies, suggestive limbs and lips, sink into color-intensive surfaces and dynamic lines, creating the artists specific characters.
